Jimmy Bullard first contestant voted off 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here'

Retired footballer Jimmy Bullard becomes the first contestant to be evicted from the I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here jungle.

Former Premier League footballer Jimmy Bullard has become the first contestant to get voted out of ITV's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here.

It was a surprise exit for the 36-year-old, who was tipped as an early frontrunner to win the show in the Australian jungle.

Bullard lost the public vote, while viewers opted to keep his fellow Wombats tribe campmates Melanie Sykes, Carl Fogarty and Tinchy Stryder in the jungle.

The retired sportsman's popularity seemed to fade after some 'banter' with contestant Jake Quickenden went too far in an expletive-ridden exchange.
